(Journal Special Service.) Mukden, Nov. 15. Although It was expected that before today the battle on which may depend the rate or me Rus sian or Japanese army would be on with greater severity than ever before slni-f the opening of the Russo-Japanese war, tho conditions are unchanged from yesterday. On both sides there is the same con-, tlnuous drumming of artillery as the gunners bang away at ths men of ths opposing: armies who are throwing up and slrensrthenlna: fortification, the same outlying skirmishes between out posts and scouting parties, and the same number of rumors that the lighting is ' expected at any lime. This has been practically the sltua tlon since Sunday, when the artillery work was resumed. The Japanese move mem to the eastward continues, as does also the movement of the Russtsn troops, who are being 'marched parallel to the enemy with the view of antlcl patlng any flanking movement by a tour avforce. v There Is an svident intention to make the battle a decisive one on the part of both commanders, as It la known that both sides continue the reinforcing of positions st the front. The Russians ar making much better headway now that the roads are froaen, . add troops are being marched for longer distances after detraining. All t roup" are now in much better con dition to stand the rtgora, of the coming winter season, as there have been Issued supplies of the regulation winter sort.

Where the prestige of a country is at stake all other considerations are and must be put aside. Some people msy think thst I financial difficulties will Influence Rus sia to end hostilities. Such an asser tion is based upon the assumption of Russia's financial resources. There la no doubt whatever that Russia, whose annual Income exceeds 11,000.000.000, cannot be influenced In her attitude to ward the outcome of the ' war by the amount of 'War 'expenditures.

It Is doubtful If a better bill as been offered patrona than that of the present' week. Ba mold's troupe of dogs and a cat was never ex celled on any vaudeville stage. It seems Incredible, but these animate, with the assistance of their maater, actually per form a farce comedy In pantomime. They enact a prise fight, go through the antics of acrobats danpe In the coatumee of aoubrettes and Jump the rope.

The Mortons have a good collection of Jok- snappy songs find duets, while the story of the widowed Bridget nearly causes the audience to weep in sympathy. Ed Simpson sings and talks; he also danoeS a bit the else of his footwear prevent much of the latter method or amusing. The Lamont brothers do many tumbling feats nsvsr seen in Portland before. Pearl Grayson sings an Illustrated aong, and the vltaaoope shows many good and funny pictures. Many Top-Liners at the Star. One big Avolo and two little Avolos are the top-liners at the Star this week. As tumblers It is aeldom that one sees such delightful performances as they give. The father and sons are a good show all by themselves. The musical Harts have many ways in which to please the public. Mrs, Hart s latest song, "A Bit of Blarney," and the au tomobile horns being two of the most pleasing. Aa club swingers, the Yale duo go through a large number of turns without the slightest mishap; theirs Is "sans" club swinging and makes a hit Adeline Blrchler haa a good voice and her singing of opera airs adda greatly to the strength of the bill. Richard Burton bae many queer dreams, which he relates In song.

At the Arcade, the original family vaudeville house in Portland, the feu Ferns comprising a comedy team, fur nish a ahow all by themselves They alone are worth the prloe of admission. But there are plenty of other attrac tions. Adams brothers do a clever turn at asng and dance and create a favora ble Impression. A female Impersonator who causes more laughter than any thing that haa appeared in local vaude ville for weeks. The deception la real ly undiscovered by the audience until the wig la removed and the bald head of a man is ehown. Alfred Anderson does a good turn and receives vigorous ap plause, and Hopper and Burrell are like wise able to get close to the audience. The vltascope Is showing good pictures There are always crowds at the Ar cade and the bill thla week will likely draw even more attention. Lyric Nearly Reaches Perfection. Even surpassing the bills of previous weeks, that have made an enviable . rep utation for the Lyric, the program that waa presented yesterday la near the limit of perfection In vaudeville. Of course the crowds were there, for since the Lyrle began in Portland it haa al ways had crowds. Veorg and Welda, In a refined musical act are probably as entertaining a pair of real musicians as were ever brought to the city. They Introduce some novel and original In struments. The De Garros perform some really marvelous feata on Roman rings and Ward and Ward compose a funny team in Irish comedy and singing. Douglas and Douglas are comedy acro bats of exceptional ability and made a decided hit. Harry Hoyt was, as usual, heartily encored in hie Illustrated song. The vltascope is showing some funny pictures of an escaped lunatic The Close of Cordrays.

The company Is the beat ever Been In the popular piece, the chorus Is composed of beautiful girls, the comedians are eH talented fun-makers and the women principals ars beautiful and endowed with talent The Bijou, of Course. Acrobata are usually dressed in spangles, but Howe and Decker perform their specialties In conventional clnthea. which makes their act more wonderful than ever. They're at the BUou. of course. "A Little Irish." by the Mor-. tons, is a sure heart-warmer. Pearl Orsyson's illustrated songs add to the Bijou population.
